and I have contact the headquarters in Japan to see what they have to offer. I know that safety is a big concern to you riders-both on and off the track. (and especially your families) so, who is in on a group buy? This protection system has been around since the 90's in Japan and is also used in horseback riding. I'm going to guess that it will become pretty popular with more people as time goes by.

This past Saturday at the MoCO the Hit-Air safety systems reps were demonstratining their product. Here is a video of Terra, #112-MRA, trying the vest out. Later that day TomB, after his get-off, said that he was most certainly looking into picking one of these S.B.S. "Shock Buffering Systems" up. The system comes in many styles of upper body gear to include a vest that would fit over a one piece suit.
The price, compared with the potential of a broken bone or internal injuries, seems small.
